Throughout the journey, players combat various enemies as they attempt to cleanse the land of Ahriman's Corruption. The game's story line and setting borrow heavily from Zoroastrianism. Gameplay. The gameplay in Prince of Persia retains a similar feel to the Sands of Time trilogy, in the sense that the acrobatics, puzzle solving and combat elements remain. However, the game is non- linear, and hence, the players are given the opportunity to explore any part of the world at any time they want to. The player fights enemies variously as they perform acrobatic feats to get from one fertile ground to another, to heal them.
In the process of the game, the player has the opportunity to unlock various achievements for certain actions, as is common in most Xbox 3. A new supporting character, Elika, has a large role in gameplay, in that she saves the Prince from death while in combat or exploring the world. The Prince cannot "die" in this game, as Elika will save him from any danger and bring him back to the last safe point of the game. For example, if the Prince slips and misses a jump, instead of falling to his death, Elika will grab him, and set him back on the last stable platform that the Prince stood on. Elika can also perform many combat moves, some in tandem with the Prince. Prince with Elika.
If the Prince is downed in combat, Elika can protect him as he regains his energy. She also assists him in acrobatics. She boosts the Prince further than he can jump alone using her magical abilities.
She is also very acrobatic, performing the same moves as the Prince, with ease. When solving puzzles, Elika plays a role as well. If the Prince does not know where to go next, Elika will guide him in the right direction with a magic compass, however the magic compass points where directed by the player on the in- game map. Combat largely differs from that in the Sands of Time trilogy, but is similar to that of the original Prince of Persia trilogy. The combat is one- on- one, and there are four main combat options. There is a sword attack, which is where the Prince uses his sword to attack enemies; a gauntlet attack, by which he lifts and throws enemies; a magic attack, by which Elika uses her magic to damage enemies; and an acrobatic attack, which is useful for switching places with the enemy, and performing combat feats in tandem with Elika. All of these four combat options can be linked together to perform combos which do variably more damage to enemies.
In later stages of the game, enemies also change state, and can only be attacked using only one of four combat options at a given time, as indicated by the style of the enemy. If the player uses a combat option other than the one prompted, they will be damaged. There are three stages of the Prince's health in combat; healthy, weakened, and grounded. When the Prince is in his healthy state, he is not yet damaged. When an enemy strikes the Prince, he goes into his weakened state. He is more vulnerable to being attacked in his weakened state, but it can sometimes take several strikes to make the Prince go into his grounded state. When the Prince becomes grounded, the enemy makes a swift attempt to kill him.
The player will be prompted into a quick- time action, in which they will have to push a button to subdue the enemy and get back up into their healthy state. If the player fails the quick- time event, pushing the wrong button, the enemy will attempt to kill the Prince. Elika, however, subdues the enemy as the Prince returns to his weakened state, but the enemy also regains a fraction of their health as well. Acrobatics remain largely unchanged from the Sands of Time trilogy, except that Elika now provides acrobatic support. The Prince is capable of running on walls, sliding down walls, climbing walls, and jumping from wall- to- wall. The Prince utilizes his gauntlet as a tool to break the fall as he slides down a wall. Elika also plays a large role in acrobatics.
Elika boosts the Prince further than he can normally go, she saves him if he misses a jump, and she herself is very capable and agile. As the game progresses, the Prince can collect Light Seeds.
The Light Seeds unlock certain abilities for Elika, which allow her to access various parts of the game world. The abilities activate certain plates, which, when boarded by Elika and the Prince, allow them to perform acrobatic feats that they couldn't otherwise, using magic.
Setting. The game is set in ancient Persia, in an undefined city- state where Zoroastrianism is the dominant religion. At the center of the city- state rests the temple imprisoning the god Ahriman, who was locked there by the god Ormazd. Ormazd locked Ahriman there because Ahriman was trying to conquer the land. At first, Ormazd stepped down, hoping Ahriman would stop when no resistance was met, but was soon forced to take action due to Ahriman conquering a majority of the countries and plaguing them with Corruption.
Ormazd managed to imprison Ahriman and his Corruption inside the temple with the help of the Ahura. After this feat, Ormazd departed the world to rest among the stars, humiliated that he lacked the foresight to take action sooner. Story. A new Prince of Persia, a wanderer, and "Prince" in nickname only, stumbles into a forbidden land - a mythical city of beauty, dominated at its center by a massive Tree of Life. The ancient evil god of darkness, Ahriman, was imprisoned within the tree after a cosmic struggle with his brother, Ormazd. When the Prince arrives, Elika's father, the Mourning King unleashes Ahriman in return for reviving Elika and all of his Corruption is also unleashed upon the self- sustained world.
The Prince takes up arms against the corruption in an attempt to redeem himself and take back his actions by driving the corruption away. Prince of Persia begins as the Prince is caught in a fierce sandstorm while seeking his donkey Farah (a reference to the princess of the same name in the Sands of Time trilogy). The Prince, unable to see because of the sand, stumbles into a canyon and meets Elika, who requests that he follow her into a temple at the center of the kingdom. When they arrive inside the temple, Elika's father destroys the Tree of Life, which begins to free the god Ahriman. With the tree of life destroyed, Ahriman begins plaguing the land with Corruption. Elika explains that there are multiple fertile grounds found throughout the land that she has to reach and heal in order to again give the tree of life power and stop Ahriman from escaping the land.
As the Prince and Elika travel to and heal each fertile ground, Elika reveals her past: first her mother died, and then Elika did as well. Her father, the Mourning King, could not handle his grief, and made a deal with Ahriman. The Mourning King freed Ahriman, who resurrected Elika in return.
She also teaches him about the history of the land. This includes telling him about the Corrupted, Ahrimans chosen few, who sold their souls for their desires. After the lands have been cleansed of Corruption, the duo returns to the temple to cleanse it as well; a necessary and final step in stopping Ahriman. Inside the temple, the Prince and Elika are confronted by the Mourning King. After being defeated by the duo, he jumps into the Corruption below. Ahriman then rises to oppose the duo, but is unable to defeat them before Elika heals the tree of life.
After a long journey where he purifies the land, Elika gives up her life to seal Ahriman as it was Ahriman who gave her life back. The Prince, having fallen for Elika had to decide to either leave, or release Ahriman in order to revive Elika.
The Prince cuts four trees scattered in the desert in front of the four respected areas he had recently purified, then returns to the Tree of Life and cuts it releasing Ahriman. He returns to Elika and walks off with the revived Elika in his arms. As he does, a black cloud rushes out from the temple bearing Ahriman's face. Ahriman then envelops the desert and covers the couple.
However the last achievement/trophy received states "To Be Continued", as well as from interviews it has been stated this is the beginning of a new Saga in the Prince of Persia storyline. Characters.

Story. Introduction. Set immediately after the events on the Island of Time, the Prince returned to Babylon bringing with him his lover, Kaileena, the Empress of Time, only to find the city besieged by an unknown enemy. Later, the ship that the Prince and Kaileena were sailing on falls under attack. The boat is destroyed, and Kaileena drifts inland where she is kidnapped; the Prince witnesses this and begins to search for her abductors. After wandering around for a while, the old Prince manages to catch up with Kaileena, only to find her in the hands of the Vizier. As before, on the Island of Time, the Prince canceled the very establishment of the Sands of Time, also resulting in cancelling the death of the Vizier. However, when the Maharajah went to the Island of Time, he did not find the Sands, but books were found on island along with the Dagger of Time.
After reviewing all this knowledge and receiving the dagger, the Vizier found that it would grant him eternal life, for which he needs the Empress of Time. With this knowledge, and from a vision granted by the Dagger, the Vizier went to Babylon, to await the Prince's arrival; knowing that the Prince would be returning there with Kaileena. The Prince, seeing that the Vizier had plans to kill Kaileena, charged at him, only to be captured by an ambush by one of his minions. With the Prince watching on, the Vizier stabbed Kaileena with the Dagger of Time, recreating the sands and killing her.
He stabs himself with the Dagger and gains the power of immortality and possesses Kaileena's essence. He becomes "Zurvan, the God of Time". Releasing the power of the sands once again, its power corrupts all Babylon, including his two bodyguards and, eventually, the Prince. During the chaos, the Prince was able to escape and once again acquires the Dagger of Time. He wakes up to find himself in a sewer, his left arm infected by the sands. Taking Back Babylon.
During his journey, the Prince is helped by Farah, who remembers nothing of their previous adventure because of the changed timeline. As a result of being infected with the Sands, the Prince's darker side is given sentience in the form of the Dark Prince. The Dark Prince is, at first, a cynical and brutal voice in his head. However, as time goes on, the Dark Prince is able to take control of the Prince's body and transforms his appearance into that of a shadowy Sand Creature.
However, in order to sustain himself, he must use the sands of his enemies and his only weakness is water. Another issue are the decisions that the Prince would have to make; being divided into only reclaiming his title and throne or being a true ruler, taking care of his people before facing his enemy. Farah will be decisive on this role, always reminding the Prince that his people and the nation's peace comes first compared to the simple and arrogant desire for vengeance against the Vizier. On the other hand, the Dark Prince will act as an opposite influence, always reminding the Prince of his quest of blood lust, and how stopping to save people will only delay him in finding a way to the throne. After many battles, puzzles and the unfortunate kidnap of Farah by the Vizier, the Prince finds the body of Sharaman and his sword. The Prince finally realizes his childish and arrogant attitude and decides to face the consequences of his previous actions.
After a difficult battle, the Prince plunges a dagger into the heart of the Vizier, thereby killing him and contradicting the immortality of his greatest foe. Sands from the Vizier and the Sand Creatures merged into the image of Kaileena. She thanks the Prince for the kindness he showed her. After that, the Prince gives her the Dagger, and she removes the last bit of sand that infected the Prince. After this Kaileena's spirit passes on.
Fighting the Dark Prince. Suddenly, the Prince and Farah hear a strange ringing.
The Prince sees his crown, but when he goes to pick it up, a man approaches in a cloak, and picks up the crown. The person is revealed to be the Dark Prince, who wants the Prince's kingdom and mentally strikes him with the Daggertail. The Prince enters a mental realm and tries to eliminate the Dark Prince. The Dark Prince accuses the Prince of letting the power of time go. The Prince tells him that he has changed and no longer agrees with his ways. The Prince passes through many places from his past. He arrives on a platform with two thrones on it.
Suddenly Farah appears and tells the Prince to leave this place of evil. Everywhere on the platform there are clones of the Dark Prince, who laugh at the Prince.
After that, he begins to climb the steps leading out of the realm, which makes the Dark Prince panic. The Dark Prince is forever left behind. The Prince wakes up on the roof beside of Farah. They start to talk, standing at the railing of the roof. Farah asks the Prince how he really knew her name. In response, the Prince decides to tell her his tale from when it really began. Characters. Prince - Arriving in his native Babylon, he must regain his throne and free the city from the Vizier.
Dark Prince - Is the alter- ego of the Prince and one of the two antagonists. Farah - She becomes an ally of the Prince after he saves his people and shows ideological renovation, she work with him again. Vizier/Zurvan - A enemy of India and Persia, the Vizier seeks to gain to immortality in the new timeline as a result of the Prince's actions on the Island of Time. Kaileena - Kaileena is kidnapped and killed by the Vizier. Since she is supernatural in origin, after her death, she does not disappear completely, but her sand essence is spread through Babylon. Gameplay. The Two Thrones combines exploration and combat. Both elements make use of the Prince's acrobatic capability and agility.
Throughout much of the game, the player must attempt to traverse the palace by running across walls, ascending or descending chasms by jumping back and forth between walls, avoiding traps, climbing structures and jumping from platform to platform, making other types of well- timed leaps, solving puzzles, and using discovered objects to progress. During combat, many of the same moves vital to the player in other situations can be put to use to overpower enemies.
An example is the ability of the Prince to rebound off walls in order to strike enemies decisively. The player generally attacks enemies and blocks using a dagger, although other objects/factors, such as the Dagger of Time and its time- control abilities eventually prove to be critical to victory. In The Two Thrones, the Prince's acrobatic skills have improved. He is now able to launch himself off walls at 4. The designers have also improved the stealth system.
Instead of merely being able to do more damage when striking without being seen, The Two Thrones uses a speed- kill system. If the player does not complete the speed kill, the enemy knocks him off and the speed kill fails. The amount of moves or the length of time required depends on how strong the opponents are.
The same system is also used in some of the boss battles. The Prince also develops a split personality, known as the Dark Prince, and this alter- ego constantly bickers with him in his mind about right and wrong.
At times, the Prince physically transforms into the Dark Prince. These transformations are scripted and not controlled by the player.
During these times, however, the Prince retains control of his body, and the player still has control over the character. For the most part, the Prince's dark side is simply an inner voice. When controlling the Dark Prince, the player loses the ability to wield a secondary weapon, instead using the "Daggertail", a bladed whip fused to his arm. This allows medium range combat moves and new interactions with the environment. The Dark Prince also constantly loses health as a result of the semi- transformation, with eventual death from the loss.
He goes back to full health whenever he collects Sand, from either a monster or object. Also, his Daggertail gives him a different button combination for speed kills, in which he strangles his victims. Coming into contact with water will allow the Prince to return to normal. Reception. The Two Thrones has received mostly positive reviews. IGN gave it 9. 0/1.
Two Thrones is great. The story is cool, the heroes are likable, the weak are pitiable, the villains are bastards, the major plot points are exciting, the art is grand, the sound is wonderful..
Gamespy gave it four stars on all platforms, saying of the PC version "All of [the] settings, without exception, are stunning.
